Zydeko Rendition of Pharrel WIlliam’s “Happy” Produced in Studio One [video]

[This just in from Sean Ardoin, who recently released his tribute to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy,” recorded and produced in Studio One! I got in touch with Sean and got a little backstory on his experience with Studio One.]

I used to use another DAW and then I got exposed to Studio One. The reduction in click count made my workflow super fast, and it’s so super intuitive that I get stuff done without even thinking about it. My cousin in California who worked with me on this song is one of my converts to Studio One. He bought it, and this was the first time he used it to record. He said that he would be using it a lot more in the future because it was so easy to use. He sent me his waves, I put them back in my session, mixed it down, mastered it in the Project page, labeled everything, and uploaded to SoundCloud—ALL IN ONE SESSION!

Studio One is sweet, it’s clear, it’s fat, it’s full, and I love it! The Project page is particularly useful because when I hear mistakes that I missed in the mix, I can click the wrench, fix it in the Song page, and then update the Project. In no time flat, I’m back to doing what I wanted to do. All of my plugins work, and editing is a snap. I can’t say enough about this platform, man!

I learned Studio One so much faster than the other DAWs I own that I now use it exclusively, and tell everybody I know about it. Click here to check out my Nimbit Store, and text getkool to 88704 to download the track for free!
